For years we have had a couch in the basement. There's also a television down there so in the winter when the pellet stove is going and it is nice and warm, we spend a lot of time down there. Couches have come and gone and the last one was our old leather one which was so cracked and worn.
Pat wanted to buy some matching recliners to put down there. I've been watching some online auctions to find some deals. I discovered that you can go and look at the things up for sale prior to bidding. We went to Cloverleaf Lakes and looked at some recliners. We were outbid and didn't want to pay what they were going to sell for. Instead we bid on a couch and loveseat with reclining ends.
We won this loveseat with it's matching sofa for $3! We gave the sofa to Andrew for their basement and brought the loveseat home. While cleaning both the couch going out and the loveseat coming in, I found $1.50. That meant I only paid $1.73 for both pieces. The auction company gets 10% and we also pay tax. The auction company made 30 cents off of us. I haven't used it yet but Tom certainly has!
